Manning is going to get his yards. D. Thomas is going to make some hay over on the right side. E Sanders is going to make Burley look girlie, at least a bit.
I think those are given items. But no one will hear Peyton yell Omaha. Peyton will get a couple of offsides early on with his little hand shake thing he gets away with, which is his only hope of slowing the rush. Ball will give up the ball, we know he has butterfingers. Denver know they have to get a couple of deep passes early, but can they? Denver knows they need to knock Percy out of the game, Ward will be head hunting, hopefully that first jet sweep is a fake because Denver should be sitting on that play. I expect some robber zones on the left side, Peyton will be looking to go after the back shoulder play. And most of all, Seattle will give up those short crossers knowing our enforcers can deliver pain after the catch. Seattle will blow up a couple of those trips screens early on too.
Will it be closer? Probably. Denver put up the 30 plus they likely need to win? I really doubt it. One thing about Denver we know for sure. They don't have the personnel or the will to just line up and try to physically whip the Seattle D. Which is why they will lose. Again.
